Chu Pian Ran's

Episode 113 Large Gold Mining

3 Days later...

Early that day, it appeared that 2,000 soldiers were preparing in front of the headquarters before they set off for the gold mine site under the supervision of Qin Wu Zhu.

As for the instructions of the emperor, the soldiers were ordered to carry : equipment for digging or mining as much as possible; a large powerful transport wagon; tents for them to stay overnight during the mining process; durable foodstuffs; beverages; cooking utensils; cutlery and more.

All the preparations were made considering the location of the gold mine is very far from the residential area.

During the last meeting between Chu Pian Ran and the emperor Qin Shi Huang, which was on that occasion, young mistress Lee handed over a paper containing a picture of the route between the Qin capital and the location of the gold mine. So immediately, the man who was the number one ruler in the Qin region called his son Qin Wu Zhu to prepare his 2,000 soldiers and ordered them to provide all the equipment that must be brought to the location of the gold mine.

Getting such an order from his father, of course the second prince immediately acted.

In accordance with the initial plan, it was Qin Wu Wang who was appointed by the emperor Qin Shi Huang to lead the 2,000 soldiers and supervise the massive gold mining process until the activity was over.

Inevitably, the youngest prince of the Qin emperor who had never gone far and in a long time could only obey his father's orders.

In accordance with the agreement, Qin Wu Wang will leave first with 2,000 soldiers to the gold mine location armed with the route picture given by Chu Pian Ran to the emperor Qin Shi Huang.

Meanwhile, young mistress Lee himself would have followed if the party had reached the site, considering the journey between the Qin capital to the location of the gold mine could have taken more than one minggunan with horseback riding.

Instead of spending time following the warrior troupe to its destination, the beautiful fairy preferred to travel to several corners of the Qin territory and hand out gold coins to the people in need.

After preparing for three hours, the large and long group departed with all its equipment. Because the transport carts carried were more than 200, it appeared as if the company was going to war.

No wonder, if during the trip, the residents of the capital and the people who happen to see the group passing, many keep big question marks.

Because carrying a large number of carts, the group was not able to travel quickly. As a result, it had only been two weeks for the group to arrive at the location with Chu Pian Ran who had apparently been there for half an hour before the group arrived.

Given the location of the gold mine in the middle of the forest area, then for a while, the carriage cart was placed along the edge of the forest with guarded by soldiers alternately.

On Qin Wu Wang's instructions, the soldiers set up tents first and rested for a full day before the massive mining began (except for the soldiers who got rations on guard), considering they had spent a long trip that was quite draining.

Not to forget, among the soldiers there were ordered to set up a special tent that will be occupied by the youngest prince of the Qin emperor.

While waiting for his tent to be finished and his personal furniture put in the tent, Qin Wu Wang also sat under a shady tree while his right hand was twitching his sore back from riding too long.

"Are you tired, brother?" chu Pian Ran asked after sitting next to his foster brother, whose age was only one year adrift with him.

"Not only tired Nanyang, my butt feels hot and my waist aches from riding too long.", complained the fifth prince of the Qin emperor.

Hearing Qin Wu Wang's complaint, young mistress Lee smiled.

"Eat him brother, so the prince was not too comfortable in the palace... About a lot of his servants so lazy heavy work. It would be like this..," said the beautiful fairy frankly.

All this time, Chu Pian Ran had indeed known that the youngest prince of the Qin emperor had a fairly spoiled nature and was unwilling to do anything that would have been too draining of energy and time.

It seems to have become a common thing if the name of the youngest child must be treated somewhat differently from his other siblings.

Actually, it was not only Chu Pian Ran who had given similar advice. Emperor Qin, his birth mother to his four brothers also once gave input to the young father, but it seemed like their words were only considered like the wind then for Qin Wu Wang alias his heart had not felt touched.

"You have a point, too." said the youngest prince of Qin emperor honestly.

"Even if you have a wife and children, do not forget your status as a prince, who must have concern for his people. Kan members of your kingdom can live luxuriously as it comes also from the people..," Chu Pian Ran continued trying to remind his foster brother while turning to the young father.

"Yes, my beautiful sister... At any time I will try to pay more attention to the people..," Qin Wu Wang replied with a slightly sour face.

"Continue kaak? Don't-don't just in the mouth alone." young mistress Lee began to tease her foster sister.

"Geez Nanyang, you know I've just been traveling a long distance for two weeks, you can just say no... You better massage my back here gih..," continued the young father began to bully his heart with a pouting face.

"Ye's good, I'm a pijiite... It's better that you just have one of the soldiers knead down your brother's back.", Chu Pian Ran refused frankly.

"Not so, can be ashamed of me if you ask the soldiers to massage my back... I know very well that I have never worked hard," said the fifth prince of the Qin emperor still with a sullen face.

"Yes that's the truth, right..," said young mistress Lee honestly.

"Later tonight you'll be with me sleeping in Nanyang's tent," pinta Qin Wu Wang was serious because the young father was indeed afraid if he had to sleep alone in the tent and in the middle of the forest that he had never experienced before.

"Do not want ah sis, later tonight I want to sleep at home..," said the beautiful fairy frankly who later tonight did not intend to stay at the mine location.

"Come dong Nanyang accompany me.", the young father's whine with both hands shook Chu Pian Ran's left arm.

"And brother is accompanied by thousands of soldiers, what is it that you fear?" young mistress Lee was a little irritated by the childish nature of her foster sister.

"What if some demon or demon or something like that suddenly enters my tent?" the youngest prince of the Qin emperor tried to persuade his adopted sister with a reason.

"Come on Nanyang, please accompany me to sleep in the tent tonight, just as soon as, yes yes..," Qin Wu Wang still did not want to give up, Qin Wu Wang still did not want to give up, the young father continued to whine while still shaking his adoptive sister's left arm.

"Sister Wang Er, you don't need to be afraid of the invisible creatures that exist in this forest... Before your entourage came, for three days in a row I had sterilized the location of this mine of all such creatures and they would not dare to approach again," it was obvious that Chu Pian Ran was trying to convince his spoiled foster brother.

"What yes? You lied, didn't you." replied the fifth prince of emperor Qin still in disbelief.

"When have I ever lied? Yes, I'll stay in this forest tonight, but I won't sleep in brother's tent, I stay up late. But, tomorrow before sunrise I will return to the capital, "young mistress Lee finally relented rather than continue to hear her childish foster sister's whining and irritated her.

"Once dong Nanyang, thank you very much my sister who is good and beautiful..," said Qin Wu Wang was relieved by the decision of his adopted sister.

And sure enough, that night Chu Pian Ran remained in the forest while monitoring the surroundings.

****

As previously agreed, before sunrise, young mistress Lee returned to the Qin capital.

Meanwhile, after a full day of rest, the soldiers began to move shoulder to shoulder to shoulder to perform their core task of coming to the place.

On the orders of Qin Wu Wang, the thousands of soldiers were divided into groups to perform their duties on this first day.

The first group of soldiers were ordered to cut down trees to be used for access in and out of the transport carts; the second group of soldiers was assigned to search for firewood; the second group was assigned to search for firewood; a third group of soldiers was given the responsibility of cooking for all the soldiers and the rest were given the job of doing excavations at the mine site.

As for the first special group of soldiers, who were charged with the job of cutting down trees, if they had completed their duties, they were told to join the digger group.

Before all the soldiers moved according to their respective duties, do not forget they cleaned their bodies first in a fairly wide river, which was not good enough, which happened to be near the mine site and after that they had breakfast from the rest of the supplies brought from the base.

Now, it appears that thousands of soldiers are acting in accordance with the division of tasks.

Groups of soldiers in charge of finding firewood, began to scatter to all corners of the forest to collect dry wood lying on the ground.

Meanwhile, in a place a little far from the excavation site, a group of soldiers who got the responsibility of cooking, seen, he was making a large and long public kitchen and some of them seemed to be pacing back and forth while carrying cooking utensils and eating drinks for all the soldiers.

For hours the thousands of soldiers worked diligently under the supervision of Qin Wu Wang.

When noon came, they stopped for two hours for lunch and a short break.

Because the number of soldiers there are 2,000, then the queue is very long when they take the lunch rations.

After two hours, the soldiers resumed their duties.

The group in charge of digging continued its digging activities, the group who got the responsibility of finding firewood also scattered back to find as much firewood, while the group in charge of cooking, while the group in charge of cooking, also scattered back to find as much firewood, they were seen transporting soldiers' drinking supplies to be washed in the river, and afterwards they returned to cooking for dinner later.

Before sunset, the group of diggers and firewood seekers stopped their work according to the orders of the youngest prince of the Qin emperor.

Meanwhile, the cookery group continued until the distribution of the dinner rations was over.

Those were the days that the soldiers passed at the gold mine site until their work was completed.

After a day and a half of digging, it began to appear large, hard chunks of stone that were yellowish in color, in very large quantities.

Witnessing the marvelous sight, the more excited the soldiers became. The large chunks of gold were beaten to become smaller chunks so that they could be easily moved and transported.

After all the wagons were full of gold, they were transported to the capital and, of course, were covered with wide cloth.

Because the goods transported were very valuable objects, then to deliver the gold stones to the capital, Qin Wu Wang deployed 500 soldiers.

After arriving at the capital, according to the plan, the gold stones were temporarily accommodated in the warehouse of the warrior headquarters and of course under the strict supervision of Qin Wu Zhu.

the 500 soldiers who delivered gold to the capital were now replaced with 500 other soldiers.

On his way back to the mine site, another 500 soldiers will fill empty carts with raw food ingredients that will be used for the soldiers' daily meals at the gold mine site.

That is the system that is carried out during the gold mining process takes place. So, every time there are 500 soldiers who deliver gold stones to the headquarters, they will be replaced with new soldiers, with the intention that there will be a balance of tasks.

Given the number of gold stones excavated was very large, then the soldiers took 6 months. And for 6 months it happened several times the delivery and replacement of soldiers.

While Qin Wu Wang himself, after two months at the location of the gold mine was replaced by his two brothers alternately, namely Qin Wu Zhi and Qin Wu Lei, each of them got a two-month ration to supervise the work of the soldiers.

Within that 6 months, Chu Pian Ran also visited once every three days, just to find out if there were any obstacles during the mining process.

Once the gold mining process was complete, the soldiers were ordered to restore the state of the land and its surroundings as neat and clean as possible before the entourage returned to the capital.
